Enough of this observing

said the child to her respondent.

Explain the astonishment of the abashed

articulate before the table

of the circle of friends

washed up on the shore of the foreign country

we all hoped to leave

for medicine. An alien

name had already gone and we were left

to drink; health

had no opponents

Reader unmov’d and Reader unshaken, Reader unseduc’d

and unterrified, through the long-loud and sweet-still

I creep toward you. Toward you, I thistle and I climb.

I crawl, Reader, servile and cervine, through this blank

season, counting – I sleep and I sleep. I sleep,

Reader, toward you, loud as a cloud and deaf, Reader, deaf

as a leaf…

Except of Sweet Reader, Flanneled and Tulled

Look,

this is not the West, this is

the 21st Century but still as desolate

cottonwood pollen blowing through

abandoned mansions, the ball-bearing factory,

strikers with their flapjack placards

waving at a glance of traffic

At the discount cinema, gunfighters name

a young Cherokee guide “Look”

because of the way she stares, because

of the way they look at her. And everyone

keeps their eyes on the horizon,

Look, you’ve won a set of false teeth.
